Hepatitis B & Tetnus Vaccine

in 1st Trimester

I am starting a new job in a couple of weeks and I have to go in for a pre-employment screening Friday morning.  I called to discuss the above vaccines with my Dr; however, she is out of the office and apparently her partners are not willing to assist (if I didn't love her so much, I'd find another OB/GYN).  Her receptionist said "well, I just don't know what to tell you then" when I told her I was not wanting to notify them of my pregnancy as I haven't even had my confirmation appt yet and obviously, it's a new job, which is another reason.

Anyway, do any of you know if it's safe to get these two vaccines during pregnancy?  I show it's a Category C for the Hep B.....from research online.

If not, do you any of you have any idea of how I could get around telling them that I'm pregnant?

 I'm just pretty stressed over this so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I just got both of these vaccines, I contacted my OB's office about this and they contacted the CDC, and they said it was safe to have, Hope this helps!
